# Objective
- Fixes#14924
- Closes#9584
## Solution
- We introduce a new trait, `SystemInput`, that serves as a type
function from the `'static` form of the input, to its lifetime'd
version, similarly to `SystemParam` or `WorldQuery`.
- System functions now take the lifetime'd wrapped version,
`SystemInput::Param<'_>`, which prevents the issue presented in #14924
(i.e. `InRef<T>`).
- Functions for running systems now take the lifetime'd unwrapped
version, `SystemInput::Inner<'_>` (i.e. `&T`).
- Due to the above change, system piping had to be re-implemented as a
standalone type, rather than `CombinatorSystem` as it was previously.
- Removes the `Trigger<'static, E, B>` transmute in observer runner
code.
## Testing
- All current tests pass.
- Added additional tests and doc-tests.

## Showcase
```rust
let mut world = World::new();
let mut value = 2;
// Currently possible:
fn square(In(input): In<usize>) -> usize {
input * input
}
value = world.run_system_once_with(value, square);
// Now possible:
fn square_mut(InMut(input): InMut<usize>) {
*input *= *input;
}
world.run_system_once_with(&mut value, square_mut);
// Or:
fn square_ref(InRef(input): InRef<usize>) -> usize {
*input * *input
}
value = world.run_system_once_with(&value, square_ref);
```
## Migration Guide
- All current explicit usages of the following types must be changed in
the way specified:
- `SystemId<I, O>` to `SystemId<In<I>, O>`
- `System<In = T>` to `System<In = In<T>>`
- `IntoSystem<I, O, M>` to `IntoSystem<In<I>, O, M>`
- `Condition<M, T>` to `Condition<M, In<T>>`
- `In<Trigger<E, B>>` is no longer a valid input parameter type. Use
`Trigger<E, B>` directly, instead.
